His wife's name was Anne. They had several children, among others, a son named John, who had five sons and four daughters. Three of the daughters died in Nov., 1675, within a few days of each other. One of his sons, Ebenezer, was a minor at the time of his father's death in 1694. He afterwards inherited the old homestead, where his grandfather, Adam, had settled. Ebenezer Hawkes had three wives. He married, first in 1701, Elizabeth Coggswell, of Ipswich. Children :

GENEALOGY
and, in the division of land in that township, he drew Home Lot No. 60, and he is called "Blacksmith of Marblehead." His son, Ebenezer, Jun., drew Lot No. 7, and he is also styled "Black- smith." Although both of these men were large land owners in Windham, neither of them settled here, but they took consid- erable interest in the town's welfare. Ebenezer Hawkes, senior, died in 1766, bequeathing his property in New Marblehead, to be equally divided between the children of his son, Ebenezer, Jun., and his daughter, Elizabeth Griffin. His property in Saugus he gave to his grandson, Samuel Hawkes, whose de- seendants still live in that town. Ebenezer, junior, died pre- vious to 1759, and four of his sons, Amos, Ebenezer, Nathaniel, and James, came to Windham and settled here. From them have descended a numerous posterity. Ebenezer Hawkes, junior, appears to have had, in addition to the above, a son, Benjamin; as we find that, on May 15, 1769, Joseph Sterling sold to Richard Dole Home Lot No. 7, in Windham, and describes it as being the same land he purchased of Ebenezer and Benja- min Hawkes; and, in their deed to Sterling, they describe it as the original lot of their father. Ebenezer Hawkes, junior. It is probable that Benjamin did not settle here; at least, we have no record of such an event.
